Changes to continuing competencies requirements 

There are a few changes to continuing competencies for 2023: 
  • Returning to pre-pandemic schedule: In 2023, the requirement will return to the established schedule, after two years of an adjusted schedule to accommodate challenges of completing education during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you are a practising midwife, check whether you need to recertify in any areas prior to renewal.
     
  • No more uploads: Practising midwives will now be able to attest to having earned the required competencies on their renewal application, rather than submitting copies of the certificate(s). ​Registrants are required to retain proof of certification for their records in the event that continuing competencies are audited. Learn more.

  • Online courses accepted: Registrants may now complete versions of approved courses in the Policy on Continuing Competencies​ that are delivered entirely online.
